With over 2,500 blog posts on our site, less than 20% sponsored posts, and our SEO efforts, we’re continuing to build our site as a destination for girlfriend advice, inspirational content and girlfriend gifts (and girlfriend approved products).

Do you have a brand, product or blog that you’d like to be ‘Girlfriend Recommended’? Would you like to have your brand featured in front of thousands of women? Here are a few ways we could work together:

Site Sponsorship & Advertising – From $300 – $3000 (depending on packages) you can be featured on our home page, inside pages, in our Facebook Community, on Twitter, our Newsletter, etc. For more information on these, please let us know and we’ll share our media kit.

Let’s get creative! Let us know your ideas and budget, and we’ll come up with some creative way to promote you to our amazing community of women!

POLICIES

You trust your friends, right? We want you to trust us (aka: Girlfriendology) too! So, we promise to provide inspiration and support for women, without the risk of spamming your or misrepresenting our online or social content.

Advertising & Affiliate Policy

At Girlfriendology, we abide by FTC guidelines for blogs:

All sponsored posts are acknowledged in the post. No products/services are recommended that we wouldn’t recommend to a friend.

We do feature affiliate links, online ads and occasionally do social ads for our clients.

We do not sell links. (Girlfriends wouldn’t do that.)

The opinions expressed are our own. We just offer them as ‘helpful advice or info’ that a friend would share. We do not have medical, financial, psychological, sociological, therapeutic or any other formal status – just girlfriends sharing content that is hopefully helpful, entertaining or inspiring for women.

Comment Policy

At Girlfriendology, we have a few guidelines on commenting:

Commenters must use a name or handle that is not offensive, vulgar, or only based on SEO keywords.

Keep it G / maybe PG. The occasional mild swear word may get a pass, but everything else heads straight for the trash. The Girlfriendology team has final say on what constitutes a violation of this rule.

No personal attacks or hate speech.

Email / Private Information Policy

At Girlfriendology, we believe in the golden rule: treat our girlfriends (aka: readers/followers), as we would our friends:

We don’t buy or sell lists of email addresses. Girlfriends would never do that.

Social Media Policy

We love connecting with women on Social Media and sharing inspiring, helpful updates. We promise to:

Keep it clean, positive, supportive – we like girlfriends who respect us. We make sure we respect and appreciate you and your time.

We reserve the right to delete negative posts/updates if they are offensive or might cause a negative reaction with our readers. We’re just here to support each other and our friendships.
